DHCP Server Settings
DHCP Server
When this setting is enabled, the DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address
to each computer that is connected via LAN and configured to obtain an IP address
via DHCP. The Pepwave router’s DHCP server can prevent IP address collision on
the LAN.
DHCP Server
Logging
Enable logging of DHCP events in the eventlog by selecting the checkbox.
IP Range &
Subnet Mask
These settings allocate a range of IP addresses that will be assigned to LAN
computers by the Pepwave router’s DHCP server.
Lease Time
This setting specifies the length of time throughout which an IP address of a DHCP
client remains valid. Upon expiration of the lease time, the assigned IP address will
no longer be valid and renewal of the IP address assignment will be required.
DNS Servers
This option allows you to input the DNS server addresses to be offered to DHCP
clients. If Assign DNS server automatically is selected, the Pepwave router’s
built-in DNS server address (i.e., LAN IP address) will be offered.
WINS Servers
This
option allows you to optionally specify a Windows Internet Name Service
(WINS) server. You may choose to use the built-in WINS server or external WINS
servers.
When this unit is connected using SpeedFusion
TM
, other VPN peers can share this
unit's built-in WINS server by entering this unit's LAN IP address in their DHCP
WINS Server setting. Afterward, all PC clients in the VPN can resolve the NetBIOS
names of other clients in remote peers. If you have enabled this option, a list of
WINS clients will be displayed at Status>WINS Clients.
BOOTP
Check this box to enable BOOTP on older networks that still require it.
Extended
DHCP Option
In addition to standard DHCP options (e.g., DNS server address, gateway address,
subnet mask), you can specify the value of additional extended DHCP options, as
defined in RFC 2132. With these extended options enabled, you can pass
additional configuration information to LAN hosts.
